Bring on the Bad Guys

Margie and I are both in agreement that, well, we just both enjoy playing Heroes more than Villains. The CoV material is nice, certainly there are some decent tech advantages, and costume bits to die for — but I certainly feel better about myself and my characters when they’re protecting Paragon and its citizenry rather than when they’re tearing up Mercy Island and terrifying the annoying populace.
Still, there’s plenty of opportunity to do some fun bits. Such as The Gifted Kid, right. You know him — the one who always knew the answers in class, who always scored well on tests, who was better than everyone else and knew it … and who got beat up every day on the way home?
Well, if he couldn’t make any friends, he decided to … make some friends. (Mastermind Drones/Tech). He’s fun.


And then there’s these guys. On the right is Dr. Lotte Lenya, of the Rosa Klebb Institute. She enjoys … needles. On the left is …
… hey, haven’t we seen him before? Well, anyway, goes by the name Psy-clone (Dominator Mind/Psy). Looks kind of untrustworthy.
Lots of great villain names out there — indeed, half the fun of CoV right now is seeing what other people have come up with. Now if only some of those costume bits can be brought over to CoH …
